Those who played with TR last year, after all said and done. TR send out an email for masqueraders to fill out a survey on their experiences and what they can do to be better next year. My suggestion I put in that survey was to try to get a Trinidadian designers for 2013 and maybe other said the same.

I can't wait for this Saturday.Do you know if Brian will be there this Saturday?

Just a side note: I remember being in Trinidad Carnival in 2008, Brian won the Band of the Year. I saw his costumes, it was different more like an art show on the road. It was amazing to see. Glad he willing to help out TR this year. :-D
